Ah, I thought xorg-server.old was 1.18 but it's actually 1.10.6..

With a quick glance at diffs of xnest between xorg-server.old and
xorg-server, most changes seem mechanical but one of major change is
"changes to convert from screen index numbers to ScreenPtr / ScrnInfoPtr":
 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit?id=1f0e8bd5eb1a5539689cfc4f5a6b86b530907ec5
because Xsun sources also heavily depend on it around sunFbs[] etc.
(pScreen->myNum can be used instead?)

I also wonder if this xnest change to AddEnabledDevice() could affect:
 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit?id=55c2e1a3aa587c58a74066724e11e30b3df267b8
(seems not applied to X68k server)
